Project Blowed sponsored by KAOS Network held its 18th Annual Block Party in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California on Sunday, December 16, 2012. Known for its deep underground roots to Hip Hop Culture in Los Angeles, Project Blowed over the years has been home to such living legends such as Rifleman and Medusa (pictured below with young rap sensation Lil' Nay Nay). Hundreds of people from near and far (London, UK) came out on a cold, cloudy and wet day. Even on a bad weather day, the show went forward as local rappers graced the outdoor stage. 
Medusa, a local underground living Hip Hop legend also performed in addition to East Coast living Hip Hop legend Percee P, and also Lil' Nay Nay who has appeared in television commercials and several music videos including one with singer Cee Lo Green.
